Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges that form in the skin as a natural part of aging. They are a structural skin condition resulting from the gradual breakdown of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid; the three components that keep skin firm, bouncy, and smooth. Think of your skin like a brand-new mattress. At first, its firm, smooth, and bouncy. Every morning, you sit on the edge, a small crease forms, then disappears. But over years of repeated pressure, that crease becomes permanent. Your skin works the same way. Every smile, frown, and squint creates a temporary line, and as collagen and elastin naturally decline, those temporary lines start to stick, first as fine lines, then as deeper wrinkles. The good news? You can slow this process significantly.
